Monarch Advises Pupils To Embrace Postive Learning , Shun Cultism
The traditional ruler of Otumara community, High Chief Kehinde Kalejaiye, has advised pupils and children to shun cultism and embrace positive learning for a brighter and more rewarding future.
Kalejaiye, who is the grand patron of Lagos Mainland and Yaba Local Government Schools Sports Officers Association, gave the advice at the annual Inter-House Sports competitions of Lagos Mainland Local Government Primary School, Ijero Baptist Primary School, and Eleja Primary School held last Thursday and Friday at the schools’ premises.
The traditional ruler urged the pupils to be conscious of their safety and environment and report any suspicious moves, physical harassment, or anyone trying to lure them into cultism or take advantage of them to their teachers or parents.
He said, “We thank Almighty God for making this sports event a successful one. I commend all participants in various categories of sporting events, including the teachers, pupils, and handlers in both schools. I must say, the event was well-packaged. Congratulations.
“Ijero Baptist Primary School is very dear to my heart, not just because the Omolara Kalejaiye Lemon House is sponsored by me but because I began my primary school education here before I left when I was in primary 2”.
“In fact, walking into the school premises brings to my mind the memories of yesteryears. I give God all the glory for that.
“To the pupils, the best advice I can give, and that which I have always been giving, is for you to be good children to your parents, teachers, and your neighbors.
“You should always obey your parents because being attentive and an obedient child is rewarding both now and in the future. Don’t join cultists and don’t associate with bad friends.
“Face your education for a brighter and more rewarding future. Let me ask you, is cultism good or bad? As you are aware that cultism is bad, don’t join it. We are now in an age where cultism is being introduced to primary schools.
“You are the leaders of tomorrow, and that tomorrow is what you are preparing for today. For a brighter future that lies ahead, if anybody tries to lure you into a bad company or cultism, report such to your teachers at school or if it is at home, don’t hesitate to report such a person to your parents.
“Always remember at all times to be a good child and a good ambassador of your school.”
The highpoint of the sports events was the presentation of trophies and cash gifts to the first, second, and third places by the grand patron.
